To minimize the unwanted intake of these
materials:
–
Use dust extraction matched appropri-
ately for the developing dust.
–
Use personal protective equipment, such
as a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
–
Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on
how often these materials are worked.
Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked on by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust
can cause spontaneous com-
bustion or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish remainders or other chemical materials
in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavorable conditions, such as spark-
ing from sanding metal, continuous sunlight
or high ambient temperatures. To prevent
this:
–
Avoid overheating the material being
sanded and the power tool.
–
Empty the dust collector/container in
time.
–
Observe the material manufacturer’s
working instructions.
–
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials being worked.
Hand/arm vibrations.
While working with this
power tool, hand/arm vibra-
tions occur.
These can lead to health impair-
ments.
The vibration emission value
during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
It is necessary to identify
safety measures to protect
the operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use.
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 62841 and may be used to compare one
tool with another. It may be used for a pre-
liminary assessment of the vibrational
impact.
The declared vibration emission level repre-
sents the main applications of the power
tool. However, if the power tool is used for
other applications with different accessories
or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase
the vibrational impact over the total work-
ing period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to
vibration should also take into account the
times when the tool is switched off or when
it is running but not actually doing the job.
This may significantly reduce the vibrational
load over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to pro-
tect the operator from the effects of vibra-
tion such as: Maintain the power tool and
the accessories, keep the hands warm, orga-
nization of work patterns.
